joevacc Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 So, there is the question… Why are there no serial numbers on the back of newer Epiphone headstocks? Isn't just making it easier for the counterfeiters??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 So, there is the question… Why are there no serial numbers on the back of newer Epiphone headstocks? Isn't just making it easier for the counterfeiters??? There is no serial number on the back of the headstock of my Gibson 1959 ES345 Reissue. But that's the way they were back then... So perhaps not a new trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchster Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 What new Epiphones? Most semi hollow/hollow bodys have them on the f hole label..all the newer solid bodys I had ( sg/les paul) 2011/12/13 had them on the headstock. I prefer it in the label of semi hollows much better to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Joe, I know not of what you speak. All Epis I have seen lately have the Serial# on the back of the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Epis I have seen lately have the Serial# on the back of the headstock. My '62 Sheraton reissue does not… I guess I have a skewed perspective. It appears that only the arch tops do not have it… A good way to see what mean is to go to sweetwater.com and look at the rear of the headstocks in their pictures...

burchster Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 My '13 Sherry 2 doesnt have it on the back of the headstock either. Im pretty sure the newer Epi archtops are just on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
